Why Be So Low-Key, Xi'an and Harbin?

Insights from The LAE Development Trend Report, released at the 2024 Global Low-Altitude Economy Forum Annual Meeting in Beijing.

The Global Low-Altitude Economy Forum 2024 Annual Meeting, held from November 27 to 29 in Beijing, successfully brought together over 1,500 industry professionals from around the world.

With the theme "Building Low-Altitude Cities, Sharing a Better Life," the event featured more than 30 focused discussions on topics such as business models, technology pathways, industry standards, and application scenarios in the low-altitude economy. Attendees included representatives from eVTOL companies, general aviation firms, and drone enterprises.

During the forum, the China Low-Altitude Economy Alliance released the Low-Altitude Economy Development Trend Report.

You may have seen the China Daily article about the report, which highlighted the potential for 100,000 eVTOLs by 2030. However, the report offers several insights beyond the headline—valuable for industry researchers seeking a deeper understanding of China’s burgeoning low-altitude economy.
